Improved balance and vision makes it easier to keep the right posture and perform various techniques correctly.

Both the Tare and Tare Himo are tapered to fit your body, making it easy to tie and ensuring a comfortable fit around your abdomen. The Tare stays in place even during vigorous competitions and gives a good range of motion.

Diagonally cut and supple, the Tare naturally forms to the correct shape, giving the wearer a dignified look. Seven rows of Dankazari embroidery means the Tare is both durable and flexible enough to let you move up and down from Sonkyo with ease.

Every gram counts when looking to produce the most light-weight Tare possible. By removing the Urakawa, the VANQUISHER Tare is made exceptionally light, allowing you to move nimbly and quickly in the heat of battle!
